CEO’s Wealth Climbs with AI Wave

The chipmaker’s meteoric rise has pushed Huang’s net worth to an estimated $143.7 billion, according to Fortune and Bloomberg. That places him nearly level with Warren Buffett, who stands at $144 billion. At one point this week, Huang briefly overtook the Berkshire Hathaway CEO on Fortune’s leaderboard. His fortune has grown by more than $29 billion since the beginning of 2025 alone.

Despite offloading shares, Huang remains deeply invested in the company, still holding over 858 million Nvidia shares through various entities.

Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion Market Cap

Nvidia reached a historic milestone this week, briefly crossing the $4 trillion market capitalization mark during Wednesday’s intraday session, a first for any company. The stock closed slightly below the milestone at $3.97 trillion but remains ahead of previous tech leaders, Microsoft and Apple.

The milestone reflects Nvidia’s dominance in the generative AI sector. Its high-performance GPUs are foundational to powering large language models and AI infrastructure globally. Nvidia is a key supplier to firms including Microsoft, making it central to the tech industry’s AI ambitions.

Insider Sales and Strategic Moves

The CEO’s stock sale isn’t the only insider activity. Board member Brooke Seawell sold around $24 million in Nvidia stock, according to separate SEC filings. Seawell, a longtime board member, first joined Nvidia’s leadership in 1997.

Despite geopolitical risks and ongoing chip export restrictions to China, Nvidia’s growth has continued. Investors remain bullish on its leadership in AI and chipmaking, even as regulatory and trade challenges linger.

Outstanding Returns and Market Leadership

Nvidia’s performance has been staggering across all time frames. Year-to-date, shares have gained 23.98%, far surpassing the S&P 500’s 6.45%. Over the last three years, Nvidia has returned over 1,000%, and more than 1,490% over the last five years.

This performance cements Nvidia as a leader not just in AI hardware but also in shareholder value creation. The company’s ability to dominate a transformative tech trend has fueled investor enthusiasm and driven record-breaking valuations.

Nvidia’s next earnings date has not yet been announced, but investors will be closely watching for updates on revenue, GPU shipments, and AI partnership expansion.
